A Different Hat — Michael O'Leary

In the words of the Irish writer, Samuel Beckett: 'Make sense who may'. Here I put into book form some of my non-fiction writings as I hadn't noticed until recently, I had developed a considerable amount of work in this genre, having concentrated mainly on poetry and fiction, plus my publishing of other peoples' works. I include in this tome some of the obituaries I have had published over the years dedicated to my friends in the literary world who have died, several of whom became close personal friends. I include some of the book reviews I have done, plus sections from my MA and PhD theses which were later published as books. Add to the mix a section from my autobiography, plus extracts from the books I have written about the village I have lived in for over 25 years. Finally I proffer my bibliography of my published works.
